nugatory
ever notice how some people you used to think were awesome actually really suck?
or how some people who come off as being really unique and individually minded are actually just like everyone else and in fact are more superficial than most...they just have to hide their shallowness and only suceed by interpolating their "unique" ideas into crap that everyone else already talks about or knows
I think I'm just in a crappy mood because I just had a 13 hour work day, with only one half hour lunch break.
$$$$$$=lost sanity
I hate working at the Sharper Image...I'm just not cut out to be a salesperson...I'm too honest I guess...I mean, if someone asks me "do I really need this replacement guarantee/air purifier/foam pillow/titanium-blade nose hair trimmer?" chances are, I'm going to say "no. it's completely useless and serves no purpose in life." I mean, I like people and I like working with people, but I'm not going to spout out whatever the Sharper Image tells me to for each customer. I got an 80 on some mystery shopper return: because I didn't apologize for the customer having to bring the product back, and I didn't offer an exchange. The fact was, the woman told me that she had actually found what her husband really wanted, so she was just returning it. Why would she need an exchange? And why would I apologize when she clearly didn't mind? Please. The assistant manager told me that if it happened again, I would have to write out an explanation to the district manager. I just told him, "You know what? The Sharper Image can kiss my ass!" They cut my commission, my hours, pretty much every incentive I would have to work. Like I give a shit. The only reason I don't walk out is because I still have a sense of obligation. I don't know why.
So that was an awesome rant.
I'm pretty miserable right now. I feel restless and insecure and frustrated.
I don't know what my deal is. Clearly I'm inclined to think something is wrong with me. As usual.
So, same old same old with me...What else is new?
